    i 'm having a good day...what the hell...

    I have done this plenty of times, especially when the day is hella boring. Trendy days, for example are the days I hate most. So I usually just put on a trade in the direction of the trend for the hell of it and see what it does. I seem to always pick a location where a pullback is going to...

    benchmarq trading

    Seemed like a great firm when I was in contact. I just couldn't adjust to their platform, it's personal preference. If you demo the platform and enjoy it, I think it could be a great place to go trade.

    don't call us, we can't sleep and will call you

    I can't ever sleep.... I used to get to sleep at around 1:30 to 2:00 am. Now it's more like 3:30 to 4:00 am. I guess it's a 19 year old thing.

    NO BIG BEN!!! *A reason for wearing a helmet*

    They have an option to take away bonus money, about 5 million I believe the article said. Now Steelers would not do that because he is too important to our team. But I guarantee the only way that he is going to keep that bonus money is if Big Ben agree's to never ride a motocycle while...

    Genesis Securities, Pros and Cons

    I pay $200 a month, but I don't get futures or openbook, but I think it sounds right. There are places where they will cover almost all of that for you though. I know a few posters on ET that get $1 per-ticket at 80% payout, so that is fine. Does your firm cover the software fee's if you...

    Looking for a remote prop firm/No Deposit?

    Ok Angry man. Go to Genesis and ask them for a list of sub-account prop firms that you can put up 2k and get 10 to 1 or more. There.

    NO BIG BEN!!! *A reason for wearing a helmet*

    He might be an idiot for not wearing a helmet and riding motorcycles and putting himself in risky situations. But he is still a SUCCESSFUL idiot :D Hope he is okay. I bet that law for wearing helmets is the first thing going back into law.

    2006 World Cup in Germany - Soccer

    Well.... I know one thing for sure, even if USA was going up against the #1 team in the world, and the team destined to win the world cup, the USA players certainly didn't do anything to help themselves in that game. Just didn't seem like there was a bit of energy, nothing in the mid-field...

    2006 World Cup in Germany - Soccer

    Not looking good so far, a few chances to get a goal, but we are just not playing that well. I can imagine the early goal was just trying to get adjusted to world cup play, realization they are finally there. The second goal, well that guy just hit that perfectly, nothing could have been...

    2006 World Cup in Germany - Soccer

    Alright USA, this is not the time to screw up. You better believe trading for me is coming to a halt now to watch the game :)

    call me ignorant...

    That is about it, but also, it's more than likely easier to negotiate your rates than being stuck with a set rate with retail. Leverage + commission negotiation + good trader = good deal

    What is the best professional platform

    I think you pretty much knocked out the big ones. Don't know of any others. Laser might be adding Options in the future, but I'm just not sure, but other than that, don't have anything else. Seems like with the advancements in technology and competition, there would be a great number of...

    What is the best professional platform

    Sterling Pro Think or Swim's Liquid Sterling trader pro is by far my favorite that I have tried. Might have an opprotunity to trade with it very soon. ToS Liquid now changed to ThinkPipes. I loved that platform, but not good enough for scalping. Might work for you though with options...

    looking for 1:4 margin w/ $2,000 deposit

    Yeah well when I can list probably at least 10 plus places where you could get at least half of those commissions and costs with no volume requirements, it doesn't sound so amazing anymore. But then again, we are talking retail here, but I could still list a few retail places where you can do...
